Brian
Nice pleasant hotel. Stayed there for the cricket so location was good. Food was excellent in the restaurant
Deborah
Excellent hospitality
Exceptional service from the team at this hotel made our see stay really special. It is hard for an hotel chain to make a visit feel personal but from check-in to bar and dinner and breakfast, service was professional, friendly and welcoming. Well done to the whole team. Special mention for Selereko who was outstanding.
Mark
Room was tiny and stuffy. The shower was 0.5 meters from the bed. You could hear everything going on around and above. The water, both shower and sink, smelled of salt and fish. I felt disgusting after showering. The staff was all very friendly and helpful, but the room was horrid. I have stayed at dozens of Marriotts and never experienced something so ridiculous.
Rusten
There was a lot of small gaps in service. My table being cleared while I was getting food then I lost the table and there were non left, I was standing with my food and nowhere to eat it. Trying to print documents which took over two hours, many small things Marriot hotels should have sorted.

Small room
Wasn't bad at all just that the room didn't seem like a room for a couple. It was way to small more of a single person room.

Quiet central location
Nice, quiet hotel in a good central location moments away from the waterfront. The shower is in the bedroom rather than in the bathroom with only a curtain for privacy, which may not be ideal for some.

Amazing experience; very friendly staff!
From the security gate, to the bar staff, to the front desk and management, every member of the team that work at this hotel will make you feel at home! Outstanding service and support throughout our stay made it so much more enjoyable to visit Bloemfontein. Definitely reccomending to everyone planning on staying in Bloemfontein! 5 stars!!!!
Sanjith
Protea Marriot Willowlake Value for Money
The room was clean and service excellent! The chef went out of her way to make me a lovely vegetarian curry delivered to my room since I was too lazy to stroll out to the eating area. The complimentary fruit plate was also an answer to a lazing Sunday in my room! Thank you for going out of your way - management needs to take a bow, especially Bianca!
Anton
Modern hotel in centre of Bloemfontein with views
Lovely, new, clean and modern. Staff brilliant and friendly. Basically hotel borders on Zoo with views of wildlife while still in centre of Bloemfontein. Unique

Ruth
Ok, not exceptional and not great value
The hotel is ok, the rooms were suitably clean and beds comfortable but nothing exceptional, especially considering the price. No fridges in any of the rooms, the clear glass shower is right next to the bed which provides no privacy and the reddish lighting above it does not create the most romantic or flattering of images - though two friends also stayed at the hotel and one of the 3 rooms actually had a shower curtain so no consistency there! I asked the question and was told it is standard for a 'modern design' yet have stayed at several newer hotels which were much better designed. Basin is also in the main room next to the bed so the only 'facility' that has any privacy is the tiny toilet! We stayed for two nights and I do not think any couples travelling together would enjoy a stay for longer than that as the rooms are quite small and poorly designed. The decor is fine though whoever painted the rooms could not colour within the lines, 'wardrobe space' was awkward and the zoo is quite sad and run down which, as an animal lover, was heartbreaking to see. It does not come close to the standard of any other hotels of a similar price range I have stayed at (in SA and abroad) and I would not recommend it as there are better places in
Bloemfontein around the same price range.
Bloemfontein around the same price range.
Roland
Brilliant location and bed
Great location in the heart of bloemfontein. The hotel is a gem with a zoo on its door step. Could see zebras and buck from my room window! The bed is especially good, most comfortable I have ever slept in.
Frenando
Disappointing
We enjoy our stay. But we were very disappointed with the TV channels. What was said to be the channels were not. The TV viewing quality was very poor as well.
